Fashion and Rroma

Published by:

The designer Mary Katrantzou in her latest show is inspired by Kusturica’s movie “The Time of the Gypsies”. Fine, but saying that it is a “film that demonstrates the traditional Romani culture” is WRONG AND FALSE.

It is a movie that depicts poor Rroma engaged in criminal activities. It is a film about being poor and outcast, not about cultural traits.

Italy, Mafia, and Gypsies

Published by:

The burial of a Mafia boss in Rome did make it to the press. It was outlandish, and according to the reports, this was a Sinti syndicate… Far from sure, which is why we never published anything on this at all. This article summarises the entire story and asks the right questions. This is scary!

French Chronicle

Published by:

Less news in France, probably due to the refugees… In Tourcoing, in the North, Rroma are expulsed; as in Asnières near Paris; while in Lille, Rroma express their opinion on the insertion villages; and in Roubaix, also in the North, the value of a house decrease if you have Rroma neighbours…

A Rroma Family Expulsed in Grenoble

Published by:

Local residents in a suburb of Grenoble, France, took justice in their own hands and expulsed a Rroma family which was squatting an abandoned house. Police condoned the act and escorted the Rroma away.

DANGEROUS … Justice should be left to the courts and police, not to the crowds.

Art Project in Slovakia

Published by:

Ban on Balkan Refugees?

Published by:

Macedonia is saying the EU is planning a ban on Balkan refugees. This is already the case with the so-called “safe countries” but could be extended to Kosovo, Macedonia, and Montenegro. This would bar Rroma who are discriminated in those countries from seeking asylum and would also deprive the community of a mean to improve their fate in those countries. This only happens if refugees are on the EU’s door.

Argument against Compassion: A Must Read for Counterarguments

Published by:

Read this… Badly thought arguments, and the way against them on the refugee crisis. The paragraph on Rroma is particularly scary: The argument goes as follows: Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria have not managed to integrated their Rroma, so they cannot take on any refugees.

The right way to say it: Nationalistic policies have tried to ethnicise and segregate minorities, and these have failed. Has nothing to do with refugees, and all to do with tolerance.

Migrant Crisis: Orban says there are too many Rroma

Published by:

Read this … Orban effectively says Hungary cannot take refugees as they have several hundred thousand Gypsies… And that he doesn’t ask anyone to live with such numbers.
Well for one, there are 800’000 according to the cogernment, and they beat the Hungarians to Europe.
SHAME!
